AM I the only viewer to be fed up with the current Corrie storylines?
The Tina-Peter-Carla romance has gone on far too long. We all now know it results in Tina exiting permanently stage left, probably resulting  in another tortuous who-dunnit to drag on for weeks and weeks.
Sorry, Corrie, but please can we have more of the characters who cheer us up? More specifically, let’s see Mary Taylor and Norris Cole looming much larger in the storylines.
Each makes so much of the material they’re currently given with a first-class sense of comic timing. Mary, the excellent Patti Clare, and lugubrious Norris, actor Malcolm Hebden at his best, both offer genuine respite from the doom and gloom that has become normal Street fare recently.
Chuck out the whingers, the moaners and les miserables and give Mary and Norris centrestage – we urgently need the laughs.
